Evangelical cowboy

Couy Griffin of Reserve N.M. (right) talks with Ricky Collins (left) in Beaumont on Friday, Aug. 10, 2007. Griffin is riding through different cities on a cross-country ministry.

Couy Griffin rides Daisy, a 5-year-old quarterhorse, as Blackjack, a 6-year-old miniature mule, carries gear down Main Street in Beaumont. Griffin started in San Francisco and plans to be in New York City on Sept. 11. He made a similar trip last year.

This was another "found feature." I wish I had more time to work it harder (and better quality light). Unfortunately, I was on my way out of town for an assigned shoot when I saw Collins talking to Griffin with his animals near downtown and had to find out whazzup.&nbsp
